The run today went well. It's MLK and it's great to have a long weekend. Spent a lot of time on the things I wanted to do (our own things, learning letters with the boys and veilig leren lezen with Nora), and today a nice run during the day.
Last night Sasha and I watched Market Call, a film about the financial crisis.
This was the first movie we saw together in three years, and it was a nice evening together.
The film was entertaining, though not a highlight of movie making. We both commented on the lackadaisical HR procedures and logical errors, but it was fun to watch it.
We watched the movie for YouTube, $3.99 for the HD version.
Anthony Wilford Brimley (born September 27, 1934), credited either as A. Wilford Brimley or Wilford Brimley, is an American actor. He was a farmer and rodeo rider who, after gaining weight, became a blacksmith and then a film actor.
"Сокче, сокче, рестурант!", we heard this morning ("juice, juice, restaurant").
We didn't pay much attention at first but then we realized that they had opened the bottle of cold medicine (Motrin, which is ibuprofen) and they were happily drinking from it. They probably drank 20 to 40 ml...
We called the Poison Control phone line and they weren't too worried. Told us that they should eat something to prevent an upset stomach but there's not much risk otherwise.
Well, I couldn't resist -- this book has been in the news for several days now and I wanted to check it out.
I read the book with a good deal of skepticism, since the author is known to take liberty with the facts at times, and some of the more salacious details in the book are contested. Nevertheless, this is a intriguing insider story of the first year of the Trump White House.
I won't mince words on my opinion of the Trump White House. Needless to say, the book did not improve my opinion.
Well, that's a bit of a transition... on Wednesday morning we were still in the pool in Puerto Morelos -- today we're in a deep freeze.
Nora's school started an hour later today, which was good because she is still getting used to getting up early.
The bakery near our house, LeoNora, is moving to Falls Church which is unfortunate. But not a surprise, since they moved their ovens away a few months ago.
We came back from our trip last night -- beautiful warm weather -- right into a snowy cold day. Nora's school is closed today.
During the winter break I had the gear cables from my bicycle replaced, since the old ones had water in them and froze up during cold days. That worked nicely today -- it was quite cold but the gears worked well (though I still need to tweak them slightly). The new standard worked well too, I haven't used my new coffee holder yet that Sasha gave me for my birthday.
